The following undergraduate academic programs have obtained Academic Program Accreditation status from the National Wellness Institute. NWI recognizes undergraduate degree programs that prepare individuals to enter professions in wellness and health promotion. Accreditation status is granted to programs that meet or exceed stated criteria of educational quality as determined by the Wellness Promotion Competency Model.

Students graduating from an NWI accredited program are eligible to receive Certified Wellness Practitioner (CWP) designation, a recognized credential in the wellness field.* Applications for CWP must be received within 24 months of graduation from the accredited program.

The application process and required content areas are detailed on this site for institutions interested in applying for Academic Program Accreditation. Please note: NWI currently only accredits 4-year (Bachelor’s level) academic programs in the United States.
